Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a device and mobile application for grocery shopping at a grocery store. The device includes a display unit that shows a map of the grocery store and a blinking beacon dot to show where a specific item is located. The device also has an input unit to allow the user to input a request to locate a particular item and a network to update the cost of the item based on data provided by an administrator. The mobile application is designed to work with a mobile phone or other mobile device. Overall, this invention helps make grocery shopping more convenient and efficient for users.

Problems solved by technology

Whether pressed for time, sick of coupon-clipping, or can't seem to remember that one last ingredient, grocery shopping can feel more difficult than it should be.
Writing out a list on paper or on a phone can be helpful, but that hardly prevents one from feeling lost when searching around the store for specific items when unfamiliar with aisle structuring.
